World Cup Shocks

Sunday is sometimes often a boring day but not in the World Cup,shocks galore!New Zealand held the current World Champions to a 1-1 draw while France are a team in dissaray after refusing to train today in protest of Nicholas Anelka's expulsion from the squad.With the French's team unity in a mess the bafanas bafanas could have a great chance in their last group match against Domenech's team to progress to the next round.
It's been fascinating following the World Cup via the BBC's on line text commentary:the opening goal by New Zealand,the refusal of the French squad to train,the head of the French Football Federation resigning,so almost as exciting as watching the match on TV.
There's a big screen at the Plaza Corniche Hotel but they have the sound off for some bizarre reason so there's a complete lack of atmosphere so better to see the matches in the small local bars where they do have the sound.
More shocks tonight ?Can Ivory Coast beat the mighty Brazil.Unlike the French,the Ivory Coast have,according to their manager Sven Eriksson a happy squad, perhaps they have a chance to cause another shock.
However,Brazil confidently beat Ivory Coast 3-1,with two fab goals by Luis Fabianno and one by Elano,who unfortunately a few minutes later,was carried off badly injured.However,there was a consolation goal for Ivory Coast with a headed goal by Didier Drobga.Up to the few minutes of the game and no shocks but the very physical,hard tackling by some Ivory Coast players niggled the Brazilians and a punch-up was almost about to break up.However,Kaka got sent off for apparently striking Keita in the face.It seemed more a case of Keita exaggerating and fooling another referee to make another idiotic decision.All in all an eventful day's football.
